Our new year's wish is for peace to prevail in Yemen, for the needs of the the 21 million affected by conflict to be fulfilled and for the 2 million who have been forced to flee their homes to be able to return safely. We wish all of our followers a happy new year. #2018 https://t.co/VYgD17M1NA

Returning home as conflict prolongs in #Yemen, 138 Somali refugees arrived safely at Somalia's Port of Berbera this morning assisted by UNHCR and @iom_yemen. There are around 280,000 refugees and asylum seekers in Yemen, with more than 90% originating from Somalia. https://t.co/xLisGZBmX2

With conflict prolonging and escalating in Yemen, families continue to flee for their lives or remain in exile away from home. Here in Qataber, in the frontline governorate of Sa'ada, we're distributing emergency household assistance to those displaced by the violence. https://t.co/1wm4GLmVTC

This is yet another shocking tragedy in a devastating war. Civilians in search of safety must be spared from violence.
